I am using s3cmd and i would like to know how to exclude all folders within a bucket and just sync the bucket root.
for example
bucket folder/two/ folder/two/file.jpg get.jpg with the sync i just want it to sync the get.jpg and ignore the folder and its contents.
s3cmd --config sync s3://s3bucket (only sync root) local/ If someone could help that would be amazing i have already tried the --exclude but not sure how to use it in this situation?
You should indeed use the --exclude option. If you want to sync every file on the root but not the folders, you should try :
s3cmd --exclude="/*/*" sync local/ s3://s3bucket Keep in mind that a folder doesn't really exist on S3. What seems to be a file file in a folder folder is just a file named folder/file! So you just have to exclude file with the pattern /*/*.
--exclude="folder/*" instead of --exclude="/folder/*".As mentioned by @physiocoder excluding a folder is done the following way:
s3cmd --exclude 'foldername/*'
So that is different from the question but I landed on this page due to its title.
